About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
In 2006 OERB bought the Visa Oshwal Nursery and the Visa Oshwal Girls Secondary Schools from the Visa Oshwal Community (VOC) in Nairobi. These two schools together with Oshwal High and Jain Primary which were already being managed by OERB were consolidated into Oshwal Academy Nairobi. Oshwal Academy Nairobi Nursery, Primary, Junior High and Senior High were formed. Junior High and Senior High have since merged into Senior School. Oshwal Academy is a dynamic supportive learning environment providing an inclusive, holistic educational experience that cultivates knowledge, skills, leadership, and self-directed learning in a global society. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Oshwal is guided by the British Curriculum that is built on innovative teaching and learning practices and that prioritises the balance between body and mind through trips and extensive extra-curricular programs. |
